Far too often, WHO we want to BE becomes the afterthought or byproduct of a hurried and frazzled life that is so focused on WHAT we need to DO.

What if we decided to live this year differently?

Imagine what it would be like if your life was full of energy, motivation, ease, and flow.

What would be possible then?

Last spring, we introduced the concept of enhancing your Emotional Endurance and how it connects to living with more integrity. Now let’s look at this through the lens of developing resilience so whatever the year ahead brings, we can develop character through our behavior.

To recap, Emotional Endurance is the dynamic capacity you develop to deal with life’s stresses and challenges with an attitude of possibility and resilience.

Emotional Endurance Includes:

Feeling a sense of control and optimism

Having a high threshold to handle change and the unknown

Demonstrating personal resolve and resiliency in the face of setbacks

Managing your energy effectively so you don’t burn out or feel overloaded

Maintaining a high level of personal integrity

When you experience some not-so-fun circumstances in life, you are met with a choice: React and retaliate or intentionally respond.

Practicing and developing Emotional Endurance in times of stress and setback allow you to build more resilience over your lifetime, starting with our young children.
